Barking isn’t bad — it’s your dog’s way of communicating! But when it becomes constant or unmanageable, it’s a sign your dog might need some help 🚨
Why dogs bark excessively:
❗Boredom or lack of stimulation
❗Separation anxiety
❗Fear or alert triggers
❗Lack of clear communication
Here is a recent case that we had with a young Golden Retriever, coming into his own! During his teenage months, he has learnt to bark enthusiastically at anyone that comes through the door. Sometimes, the enthusiastic greeting is also accompanied with a big “hug” or “jump” onto guests and owners.
With and guidance, we taught him that the best way to greet people is by waiting by his bed. This creates a space for both guests and dog, until clear guidance is given to go welcome the person that just came through the door (or not)!
